There were several things I liked about this book， namely the setting of the City of Charleston and the historic houses。 I also enjoyed the creepy ghostly spirits and the mystery elements in this book。This is the 7th book in the series and I did feel at a disadvantage not having read the other books in the series。 I do not recommend reading this book as a standalone。 The first chapter contains several characters and plot points for previous books。 It is so full， I had to read it twice to catch a There were several things I liked about this book， namely the setting of the City of Charleston and the historic houses。 I also enjoyed the creepy ghostly spirits and the mystery elements in this book。This is the 7th book in the series and I did feel at a disadvantage not having read the other books in the series。 I do not recommend reading this book as a standalone。 The first chapter contains several characters and plot points for previous books。 It is so full， I had to read it twice to catch all of the backstory tidbits。 Because this is the first book I have read in the series， I thought the characters lacked depth。 Viewed by a first time reader， Melanie was needy and obsessed with Jack。 Jack seems like a jerk， withholding his affection because of this previous ‘event’。 By the description in the first chapter， it didn’t seem like such an egregious event to warrant Jack’s behavior。I really appreciated the Author’s Note at the end which contained more information tying up the series and the news of a spin off series in New Orleans。I received a complementary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Although I am sooo sad to end the Tradd Street series I am so excited that Karen said there will be a new series about Nola coming in 2022！！！！！！！！！！！！ To say I love this series is an understatement。 I put off finishing this book because I didn't want to say goodbye to all the charming， eccentric， lovable characters that Karen White made up in her head but who came alive in every book we readers read。 Although I am sooo sad to end the Tradd Street series I am so excited that Karen said there will be a new series about Nola coming in 2022！！！！！！！！！！！！ To say I love this series is an understatement。 I put off finishing this book because I didn't want to say goodbye to all the charming， eccentric， lovable characters that Karen White made up in her head but who came alive in every book we readers read。 。。。more

Tradd Street Series is wonderful， and I am sad that this is the final book in the series but excited to see more of Beau and Nola in the new series coming from Karen White。 Each book in this series continues exactly where the one before it lets off and I do recommend reading them in order。 In this book we find Mellie and Jack separated but living in the same house as a movie is being filmed in their house。 The attraction and love between Mellie and Jack is still there and I was cheering for them Tradd Street Series is wonderful， and I am sad that this is the final book in the series but excited to see more of Beau and Nola in the new series coming from Karen White。 Each book in this series continues exactly where the one before it lets off and I do recommend reading them in order。 In this book we find Mellie and Jack separated but living in the same house as a movie is being filmed in their house。 The attraction and love between Mellie and Jack is still there and I was cheering for them to get past their differences and find a way to get back together。 I liked that even though they were separated they still respect each other， and the Almost Kiss Count had me wanting them to Almost Kiss through the whole book。 I loved the family dynamics， the interaction of the ghosts， and the way Karen White pulled all the loose ends together leaving me not needing more but still wanting more。 The theme baby shower was so funny， I cannot imagine what the guests truly thought when they received that invitation and arrived at the party。 The setting of Charleston is rich with history that is shared through the ghosts and through the detailed description of the community。 The Attic on Queen Street is the perfect last book in the series。 。。。more

Thanks to Berkley and Goodreads for the ARC。 I was sad when hearing this was the last in the Tradd Street series。 I have loved Melanie， Jack， Nola， the adorable twins JJ & Sarah and their family， friends and ghosts。 Hated how the last book ended and was confused on why Jack did what he did。 Seemed too much。Nice to see Melanie growing。 Was not happy with Jack giving her hope and then backing off。 Especially knowing how much they loved each other and meant to be。 Was not to sure on what was going Thanks to Berkley and Goodreads for the ARC。 I was sad when hearing this was the last in the Tradd Street series。 I have loved Melanie， Jack， Nola， the adorable twins JJ & Sarah and their family， friends and ghosts。 Hated how the last book ended and was confused on why Jack did what he did。 Seemed too much。Nice to see Melanie growing。 Was not happy with Jack giving her hope and then backing off。 Especially knowing how much they loved each other and meant to be。 Was not to sure on what was going on with Nola and why she did what she did。 Maybe that'll be explained in her spinoff series that I'm looking forward to reading and hoping for appearances by the gang。Loved how everything worked out for Melanie & Jack， the ghost mysteries， and Louisa。 Overall an entertaining series。 。。。more

When the Tradd Street series began， I was interested and entertained by the light-hearted books set in Charleston， a town that I love。 Sadly， the last couple of books have been disappointing and this one was tedious to get through。 The characters have lost their appeal to me and I don't like the tension between Jack and Melanie。 I'm glad to see this book wraps up the series and a new one begins with some carryover characters， although I'm not sure if I'll be interested enough to read those。 I th When the Tradd Street series began， I was interested and entertained by the light-hearted books set in Charleston， a town that I love。 Sadly， the last couple of books have been disappointing and this one was tedious to get through。 The characters have lost their appeal to me and I don't like the tension between Jack and Melanie。 I'm glad to see this book wraps up the series and a new one begins with some carryover characters， although I'm not sure if I'll be interested enough to read those。 I think Karen White is a very talented writer， I just wish she would go in a different direction with her future books。 My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing a galley of this book for review。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I really enjoyed the character development through this book。 I have been following this series for awhile and it was nice to see Melanie really come into her own and turn back into the strong independent Melanie that I think was slightly lacking in earlier books。 I like that you basically got two mysteries in one with a friend's sister murdered over 20 years ago and a Civil War-era ghost。 The clues kept me on my toes and wondering which mystery it was more connected to which I liked。 I slightly I really enjoyed the character development through this book。 I have been following this series for awhile and it was nice to see Melanie really come into her own and turn back into the strong independent Melanie that I think was slightly lacking in earlier books。 I like that you basically got two mysteries in one with a friend's sister murdered over 20 years ago and a Civil War-era ghost。 The clues kept me on my toes and wondering which mystery it was more connected to which I liked。 I slightly wish Sophie had more of a role as the best friend， at least in given advice， but at the same time more interactions with her would have slowed down the pacing。 I did catch one plot hole， or at least I think it's a plot hole， where Sophie introduces Beau to Melanie and it's eluded to that Sophie and Melanie are not has close as the once were and had a falling out but it is never really addressed later on。 For course I could have been just reading into it more than necessary。 Overall I enjoyed this book and series and look forward to her new one featuring Beau and Nora！Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book。 。。。more

I started reading the Tradd Street series when my oldest （almost 14） was around a year old。 It was bittersweet to read the final book in this series but the afterward holds some exciting news。 There's a lot to love about The Attic on Queen Street as many loose ends are finally tied up。 As much as I love Mellie and Jack， they often annoy me and being honest， it's usually Melanie。 This time it was Jack。 I wanted to shake him multiple times and couldn't believe his audacity haha。 In the entirety of I started reading the Tradd Street series when my oldest （almost 14） was around a year old。 It was bittersweet to read the final book in this series but the afterward holds some exciting news。 There's a lot to love about The Attic on Queen Street as many loose ends are finally tied up。 As much as I love Mellie and Jack， they often annoy me and being honest， it's usually Melanie。 This time it was Jack。 I wanted to shake him multiple times and couldn't believe his audacity haha。 In the entirety of the series， it's the ghost and treasure hunting plots that I find the most intriguing and I do wish that more time was spent on those aspects than some of the others。 。。。more

I have been a huge fan of Karen White since 2008 when I picked up her first Tradd Street series book， The House on Tradd Street。 I live in Charleston and have enjoyed seeing this beautiful city come to life through these stories， however， I think it was time for it to come to an end。 The last two books have been somewhat of a disappointment。 I was bored most of this and literally had no motivation to pick it up。 Melanie & Jack’s relationship issues just seemed forced and not true to who they wer I have been a huge fan of Karen White since 2008 when I picked up her first Tradd Street series book， The House on Tradd Street。 I live in Charleston and have enjoyed seeing this beautiful city come to life through these stories， however， I think it was time for it to come to an end。 The last two books have been somewhat of a disappointment。 I was bored most of this and literally had no motivation to pick it up。 Melanie & Jack’s relationship issues just seemed forced and not true to who they were throughout the other books。 Their relationship didn’t evolve the way I had hoped it would。 Overall， I have adored this series and will never hesitate to recommend to readers looking for a fun， light trip to Charleston and her ghosts。 3 stars。ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This was such a great conclusion to the Tradd Street series！ I have been reading all of these books since I first found The House on Tradd Street back in 2013 and now want to go back and read them all again in succession。 I really love Melanie and Jack together and although I feel sad that the series has come to an end， I do believe that their story was wrapped up quite well。 This had all the ghosts and mystery that you know will be waiting for you in a Tradd Street book。 I am looking forward to This was such a great conclusion to the Tradd Street series！ I have been reading all of these books since I first found The House on Tradd Street back in 2013 and now want to go back and read them all again in succession。 I really love Melanie and Jack together and although I feel sad that the series has come to an end， I do believe that their story was wrapped up quite well。 This had all the ghosts and mystery that you know will be waiting for you in a Tradd Street book。 I am looking forward to Karen's next series that follows their daughter Nola and Beau in New Orleans。 Hoping we see more of JJ and Sarah in the future as well！Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review。 All opinions are my own。Publishes 2 November 2021。 。。。more

The Attic on Queen Street， by Karen White， is the seventh and final book in her Tradd Street series。 The Tradd Street series first began back in 2008， when readers were introduced to Melanie， a real estate agent who could see， hear， and feel ghosts， and who did her best to ignore it。 Throughout the series， Melanie has had to learn what it means to trust others with who you are and to allow others into your life， making it messier but also making it worthwhile。 In The Attic on Queen Street， Melan The Attic on Queen Street， by Karen White， is the seventh and final book in her Tradd Street series。 The Tradd Street series first began back in 2008， when readers were introduced to Melanie， a real estate agent who could see， hear， and feel ghosts， and who did her best to ignore it。 Throughout the series， Melanie has had to learn what it means to trust others with who you are and to allow others into your life， making it messier but also making it worthwhile。 In The Attic on Queen Street， Melanie has a full house: twin toddlers， a teenage stepdaughter， an estranged husband staying in the guest room， and a film crew that keeps discovering what happens when ghosts are not happy that you are in their home。 As Melanie and Jack do their best to keep their nemesis， Marc Longo， from winning once and for all and stealing their home out from under them， they must also dig deep and remember who they are and why they married in the first place。 As Melanie rediscovers herself， she also works to help a friend， Veronica， discover the truth about her sister’s murder and why Adrienne seems to be haunting their house。At its heart， the Tradd Street series is all about accepting who you are， your flaws and your gifts， and using those gifts to help others。 It is about opening your heart to others and learning that life is better when it is lived with other people。 I first discovered Karen White’s books through the very first book in this series， The House on Tradd Street。 It sounded intriguing， and I found that I couldn’t get enough of this series。 Ghost stories and historical fiction hadn’t really been on my radar back in 2008， and yet here I was， loving a story that included both。 These books helped me branch out in my reading and kindled a love for historical fiction that I still have today。 I love seeing how the past affects the present， and Karen White deftly weaves the two together。 The Attic on Queen Street is a wonderful addition to this series and gives readers a satisfying ending as we see these characters grow stronger together。 Thankfully， though， this isn’t the last time we will see these characters， as a new spin off series is coming！ If you enjoy a good story， where some things are a bit unexplainable and history is important， you will enjoy the Tradd Street series。 While you could read The Attic on Queen Street first， I highly recommend starting at the beginning with The House on Tradd Street。 You will better appreciate the growth of these characters and how their actions shape them along the way。 Happy reading！ 。。。more

How do I say good-bye to a series that I have loved and reread several times since the very first installment came out？ How do I say good-bye to all the characters I have fallen in love with and watched grow stronger？ It was so hard to pick up this last book in the Tradd Street series， but in a way it was like going back to the very beginning and falling in love with the full cast of characters all over again。For those of you who haven’t picked up this series you really need to make it a priorit How do I say good-bye to a series that I have loved and reread several times since the very first installment came out？ How do I say good-bye to all the characters I have fallen in love with and watched grow stronger？ It was so hard to pick up this last book in the Tradd Street series， but in a way it was like going back to the very beginning and falling in love with the full cast of characters all over again。For those of you who haven’t picked up this series you really need to make it a priority！ There is family drama， laughter， ghosts （both good and dangerous）， and a close knit group of friends that pull together and are always there for each other。 White also has a way with her beautiful descriptions that transport you right into historic Charleston and the beautiful homes （and the banes of nonstop restoration work）。 I’m not joking when I say that I was constantly stalking White’s page for announcements for upcoming books in this series。I was sad to see this series end， but I am beyond happy with how White brought it all together with her cast of ghosts， bad guys （die Marc Longo！） and of course Melanie and her supportive family。 From the very first page I was enveloped in the mystery and turning the pages as fast as I could all while trying to savor this final book。At the very end White included notes to her readers and fans of this series。 Needless to say I was tearing up as I read them。 Thank you Karen White for the creation of this series and the beautiful cast of characters （real and ghosts） you created。Now to patiently wait for the spin off with Nola and all the wonderful and mysterious adventures I know are awaiting her in New Orleans！Thank you so much Uplit Reads and Berkley Publishing for the gifted copy of this book and having me on this amazing tour！ 。。。more

Note: This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased opinion。Not going to lie。。。 I was a little worried before I started reading this book。 The last book， The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street， left me with some mixed feelings。 The manipulation of Melanie by her family and her actions really bugged me。 So much so that it was my least favorite book in the series by far。 I started to feel like maybe this series was headed somewhere I didn't want to go。 Luckily， I was wrong。 Karen White's writing imm Note: This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased opinion。Not going to lie。。。 I was a little worried before I started reading this book。 The last book， The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street， left me with some mixed feelings。 The manipulation of Melanie by her family and her actions really bugged me。 So much so that it was my least favorite book in the series by far。 I started to feel like maybe this series was headed somewhere I didn't want to go。 Luckily， I was wrong。 Karen White's writing immediately pulled me in and never let me go。 I was once again charmed by the Charleston， South Carolina setting and the characters and ghosts inhabiting it。 Melanie is going through a tough time in The Attic on Queen Street。 Her marriage is in crisis。 Jack has moved out and Melanie is trying to figure out how to make the changes she needs to repair things with him。 She's got twin toddlers and a high schooler to worry about。 To add to the mess， Marc Longo is filming his stupid movie at her house and there is a ghost who needs her help in her friend Veronica's attic on Queen Street。 Melanie has a lot to take care of， and I loved all the ups and downs in this book。If Melanie drove me nuts in the last book， she had my sympathy in this one。 She was truly trying to work on herself despite dealing with a ton of grief and confusion。 I loved that she was willing to work on her "flaws" and make herself a better person。 Melanie learned so much about herself， and in turn how to navigate her crazy life better。 Jack。。。 I normally love Jack because of how he loved Melanie and all her extra-ness。 I could feel his love for her in this book as well， but he was the one who drove me batty this time around。 I was just as confused over some of his actions as Melanie。 I want to say more， but won't give anything away， so I will say I thought the Melanie-Jack issue and romance stuff wrapped up well。 All of the side characters did better this time around。 They still tried to influence Melanie， but it felt more positive and less preachy。 They also all stepped up and supported her in helpful ways。 I loved seeing her bond with her mother and half-sister strengthen。 Jack and Melanie's twins were just as adorable as ever。 And Nola was growing up and learning some important lessons。 I even loved how horrible Marc and Rebecca were。 As for the mystery， there were two going on at the same time。 Both were interesting and entertaining。 I especially enjoyed trying to figure out what was going on in the attic of Veronica's house。 I guessed the answer before it was revealed， but still loved how it all played out。 I absolutely loved this final book in the Tradd Street series。 It completed things in the best way。 It's a little bittersweet that the series is ending because I had forgotten how much I love the setting and all of the characters。 I'm super excited that White is writing a spin-off with Nola and Beau in New Orleans。 I just know it's going to be fun！ 。。。more

This will get at least 2 stars just for putting us out of Melanie's misery。 She hasn't grown in the last 6 books， why will she start now？ Best wishes to her friends and Jack， but I don't care if Mellie loses everything and everyone。 They've put up with her crap for too long。 I'd skip it entirely， but I'm invested now and have to see it through。 This will get at least 2 stars just for putting us out of Melanie's misery。 She hasn't grown in the last 6 books， why will she start now？ Best wishes to her friends and Jack， but I don't care if Mellie loses everything and everyone。 They've put up with her crap for too long。 I'd skip it entirely， but I'm invested now and have to see it through。 。。。more

So sad that this the last Tradd St novel but also very glad that a spin-off is in the works！ I do not want to give anything away but I found this to be a very satisfying wrap up to the series！ The previous book left us with Jack and Mellie split up， This book continues with that along with the storyline of Mel trying to find out what happened to her friend Veronica’s sister Adrienne。 Of course the Longo’s come back to add to the mayhem as Mel tries to regain Jack’s trust by turning into a new im So sad that this the last Tradd St novel but also very glad that a spin-off is in the works！ I do not want to give anything away but I found this to be a very satisfying wrap up to the series！ The previous book left us with Jack and Mellie split up， This book continues with that along with the storyline of Mel trying to find out what happened to her friend Veronica’s sister Adrienne。 Of course the Longo’s come back to add to the mayhem as Mel tries to regain Jack’s trust by turning into a new improved Melanie… great fun as always-lots of laughs and ghosts -thanks Netgalley for the advance copy！ 。。。more

A fitting ending to a beloved series！ Karen White is a gifted storyteller， and I loved this finale to the quirky， fun and enchanting Tradd Street tales。 I look forward to reading about Nola’s adventures in years to come。 Thank you to Berkley and Goodreads for the free ARC！

*ARC provided by NetGalley I love this series that seems to have it all--lovable characters and characters you love to hate， mystery and suspense， ghosts and history。 This latest and last book of the series was no exception。 Every time I picked it up I had a hard time stopping without reading "just one more chapter。" *ARC provided by NetGalley I love this series that seems to have it all--lovable characters and characters you love to hate， mystery and suspense， ghosts and history。 This latest and last book of the series was no exception。 Every time I picked it up I had a hard time stopping without reading "just one more chapter。" 。。。more

Attic on Queen Street was the finale to the TraddStreet series。 I love Karen White's characters， especially Melanie Trenholm， and the Charleston setting， historical background， and supernatural elements makes this series a super fun read！ I would recommend， especially for White's fans。 The only criticism is I found the relationship between Jack and Mellow to be extremely shallow and immature for a couple who are supposed to be married。 Very surface level。 The storyline was still interesting， but Attic on Queen Street was the finale to the TraddStreet series。 I love Karen White's characters， especially Melanie Trenholm， and the Charleston setting， historical background， and supernatural elements makes this series a super fun read！ I would recommend， especially for White's fans。 The only criticism is I found the relationship between Jack and Mellow to be extremely shallow and immature for a couple who are supposed to be married。 Very surface level。 The storyline was still interesting， but the plot was very straightforward。 #karenwhite #theatticonqueenstreet #netgalley 。。。more

I have enjoyed every book in the Tradd Street series and I have no doubt that this book will deliver the same excitement， heartache， nostalgia and southern comfort that the books before it brought。
